The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never wanna see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one, I wanna talk to in bed
Still the one, that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I look at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one, that makes me laugh
Still the one, that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one, I wanna take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one (yes, you are)
Ooh
Ooh
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one, that I love to touch
Still the one, and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one who can scratch my itch
You're still the one that I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one, you're still the one
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
Sometimes I never wanna see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one, I wanna talk to in bed
Still the one, that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I look at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one, that makes me laugh
Still the one, that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one, I wanna take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one (yes, you are)
Ooh
Ooh
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one, that I love to touch
Still the one, and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one who can scratch my itch
You're still the one that I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one, you're still the one
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is so beautiful and sweet...Sings about the feelings you have for "the one". I've already planned to play this song at my wedding. Hehe.
